If you work near the Burlington Mall, live along Cambridge Street or are driving up Route 128, you do not have to leave town for a halal meal. Burlington has four restaurants and two markets in the Mass Halal directory, plus a mosque on Lexington Street that has served the area since the community bought its building in 2004. This guide walks through what each place says about its food, what independent directories report, and where to pray nearby.

A note before you go: in our directory, “directory-reported” means a listing such as Zabihah records what the restaurant or its staff told them. It is not the same as a certificate. When certification matters to you, ask to see it. Hours change; call ahead.

Cambridge Street: certified burgers and Indian kitchens

Cambridge Street is the main strip for Burlington’s Muslim grocery and quick-meal options.

Halal Eatz — Burlington, 195 Cambridge Street. This is the North Shore–born burger and platter chain’s Burlington location. The company’s website lists classic chicken-over-rice and beef-and-lamb platters with house red and white sauces, plus burgers, gyros, wraps and desserts. Halal Monitoring Services (HMS) lists the Burlington shop as certified, with chicken, lamb and beef on the certified-products list. Our directory shows that certification running through Dec. 31, 2026. The restaurant’s own contact page gives hours as 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and until 9:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Phone (781) 203-1554. Directory listing.

Aroma Delight, 184 Cambridge Street, almost next door. A family-owned Indian restaurant whose website describes a “100% Halal” menu of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, including lunchbox combos with classics such as palak paneer, dal makhani, chicken masala and butter chicken. Zabihah quotes management saying, “We serve a 100% Halal menu,” and lists the place as fully halal with no alcohol. The restaurant’s site gives dine-in hours of 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Phone (781) 273-0111. Directory listing.

Eggholic, 10 Wall Street. An Indian street-food kitchen focused on egg dishes, chaats, paneer, grilled sandwiches, wraps and chicken. Zabihah says the menus clearly state that the food is halal and lists the Burlington location as fully halal with no alcohol. Zabihah’s hours for the shop are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. most days and until 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday; confirm before you go. Phone (781) 359-4024. Directory listing.

On Middlesex Turnpike: ask before you order

Karma, 75 Middlesex Turnpike, near the Burlington Mall corridor. The restaurant’s website describes Asian fusion sushi, Cantonese dishes, sake, wine and spirits. Zabihah’s listing is more cautious than a simple “fully halal” label: it says the restaurant states that it serves halal food and that halal options are available, and it also marks the place as partially halal and as serving pork. Because of that mix, this is a restaurant where you should ask at the counter which items are prepared as halal, and whether shared fryers or sauces are a concern for you. Hours on the restaurant’s site are 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, until 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and noon to 9:30 p.m. on Sunday. Phone (781) 365-0660. Directory listing.

Groceries on Cambridge Street

Two market listings sit at 120 Cambridge Street.

Foodland Halal Market — Burlington is listed in our directory as HMS certified through Dec. 31, 2026. HMS’s public listing for Foodland Supermarket gives the same Cambridge Street address, phone (781) 229-0108, and certification number 422, valid through Dec. 31, 2026. HMS hours there are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and until 8:30 p.m. on Sunday. Directory listing.

Towne Market, same street address, phone (781) 221-7188. Its website describes zabihah halal meats and Asian groceries, with cuts of chicken, goat and packaged masalas. The site lists weekday hours of 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and weekend hours of 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Our directory also tags the market as HMS-certified; if you are shopping for a specific certification, ask which storefront and which products are covered when you arrive. Directory listing.

Between the two markets and Halal Eatz and Aroma Delight a few doors away, Cambridge Street is a practical one-stop run for a weeknight dinner and pantry staples.

Where to pray: Islamic Center of Burlington

Islamic Center of Burlington, 130 Lexington Street. According to the center’s About page, the community formed in 1999, first gathering for prayer in parks, homes and hotels. In 2004 it acquired the former Knights of Columbus property that is now the mosque and community center. The center says it holds the five daily prayers and Jumu’ah, runs halaqas, and offers Islamic schooling for children. As of Oct. 25, 2026, its prayer-times board listed Jumu’ah beginning at 1:00 p.m. with iqamah at 1:45 p.m.; weekday and weekend programs on the homepage include a part-time Aalim course, tafsir and fiqh classes, full-time hifz and a daily maktab. Prayer times shift through the year, so check icburlington.org before you go. Phone (781) 750-8787. Mosque listing.

The center is about a mile and a half from the Cambridge Street restaurants and markets, a short drive after Maghrib or before a weekend grocery run.

A little farther out

If Burlington’s short list is closed or you want more variety, Woburn and Billerica are a few miles away in our directory, and the Islamic Society of Greater Lowell in Chelmsford is a common Jumu’ah destination for families farther north on Route 3. Our earlier guide to eating halal in Lowell covers more of that corridor.
